No longer are women leaving the instrumentals to the guys in the studio.

They’re picking up a Gibson Les Paul and doing it themselves.

The revolution of strong women doesn’t end on the music charts: they’re becoming more and more present in movie theaters as well.

Take the character Hit Girl, from the recently released movie Kick-Ass.

According to the New York Times, Hit Girl has become the film’s most “persuasive ambassador, beating bad guys to a pulp and uttering words that “little girls are definitely not supposed to say.

The actress Chloe Moretz who plays ‘ËœHit Girl’, is a deadly thirteen-year-old assassin with a penchant for butterfly knives and blood-n’-guts. Sweet, right?

The heroines we see in films today are no longer delicate flowers waiting for someone to save them – they are independent women, ready for anything.

“Just give me some Christian Louboutin shoes and a gun, Moretz said.

Here, perhaps, lies the problem with the movement of the strong woman: to keep up.

Many young girls might be growing up too fast.

The previously mentioned Taylor Momsen has been photographed smoking in public, as has well as virtually the entire cast of Twilight.
Many of the stars are too young to being doing this.

The number of tattooed stars has risen as well: everyone from Hayden Panettiere to Miley Cyrus has gotten inked.

So, is the revolution of the strong woman a good thing?

Overall, more woman wanting to become independent and confident is definitely a good thing, but at some point we must learn to draw the line between being authentic and being trendy – if you really have a passion for something, whether it be rock and roll, karate, or gung-ho politics, go for it!

But, if you’re just in it for the cheap thrills of a tattoo you might not want when you’re eighty, or blackened lungs at the age of 35, I just might have to set Hit Girl on you.
